Re: Cowl Induction Vs Ram Air Which Better/How?

Considering that neither will give you any true "Ram Air", they both work more
as a Cold Air Induction system. (Ram Air won't happen unless you're driving
above 100+mph...and at a very small amount.)

Cowl Induction collects cool air from the windshield/cowl area and the "Ram
Air" hoods just capture cold air from the vents facing forward on the hood
line. One thing to remember is that if you're running a Intake Tube Kit or the
factory airbox, they're both pretty much useless and work only for looks.
